About Xelora

Xelora is a combination fungicide formulated with Thiophanate Methyl 450 g/L + Pyraclostrobin 50 g/L FS for seed treatment applications. It combines the systemic activity of Thiophanate Methyl with the mitochondrial respiration-inhibiting activity of Pyraclostrobin. Thiophanate Methyl is converted within susceptible fungi to compounds that interfere with cell division and fungal growth, while Pyraclostrobin belongs to the QoI group and inhibits mitochondrial respiration, restricting energy production in fungal pathogens. The combination is intended to protect treated seeds and emerging seedlings from susceptible fungal pathogens, helping reduce early-season disease pressure. The FS formulation is specifically designed for seed treatment and allows the active ingredients to be distributed over the seed surface before sowing. Xelora should be used according to the crop-specific registered recommendation and appropriate seed-treatment practices.

• Measure the required quantity of Xelora according to the crop and seed quantity.

• Use clean seed with good physical quality.

• Apply the recommended quantity uniformly over the seed.

• Mix thoroughly using suitable seed-treatment equipment.

• Ensure that all seeds receive adequate and uniform coating.

• Allow treated seed to dry as directed on the product label.

• Sow treated seed according to the normal crop planting schedule.

• Follow the registered label directions for dose and treatment method.

6. Compatibility / Mixing

Do not assume that Xelora can be mixed with other fungicides, insecticides, biological seed treatments, fertilizers or micronutrients.

Use seed-treatment combinations only when the specific combination is supported by the current Xelora label or manufacturer recommendation. Where compatibility information is unavailable, use Xelora separately.

7. Precautions & Safety

• Read the product label and leaflet carefully before use.

• Wear suitable protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection and appropriate respiratory protection during seed treatment.
